German Minimum Salary Law §13 (Mindestlohngesetz §13)

Information of the management

In accordance with the applicable minimum salary law (MiLoG), we must ensure that both we ourselves and service providers commissioned by us pay the legally stipulated minimum salary.
As a responsible company, we attach absolute importance to consistently complying with all obligations under the MiLoG.
It is important to us to note that the liability of the Contractor as defined in section 13 MiLoG applies only within the framework and in connection with the agreement of a service or work contract. Between our houses, however, only contractual purchase contracts apply, insofar as it concerns the supply of your company with goods. Therefore, we are your contractor, but not in the sense of the MiLoG, but in the sense of the Civil Code (BGB).
Thereafter, we are liable to you exclusively for the fulfilment of our obligations, which result from the § 433 BGB as well as from the purchase contract concluded between us.

Nevertheless, we would like to assure you that we pay our full-time employees at least the wage determined according to the collective agreement for our industry and insofar as the Employee Posting Act (AentG) and observe the Minimum Salary Act (MiLoG) in its current version. This also applies to part-time employees and so-called mini-jobbers employed by us.
We purchase our merchandise exclusively from manufacturers and importers known to us, so from a reliable "source". In this way, we not only ensure the quality of our products, but also give you the guarantee that our suppliers also comply with applicable law.
It follows that, in accordance with our compliance in connection with goods deliveries, we do not make unilateral declarations of commitment to the MiLoG
and also do not hand over confidential and data protection-subject wage and salary documents.

We ask for your understanding and trust.

If you intend to conclude a service or work contract with us, we of course assure you as a contractor in a separate form that we comply with the MiLoG provisions. Please contact us in the course of the respective contract design.
